Golden

Week seven we were given free rein to do what we wanted, as we got very good feedback from week six we decided to re-make Gold out film from week six and try and build on our ideas from before without over running and having the sound and camera problems we had before. However we had to film in a different location this week and this was unfortunate as the space was even smaller so it was hard to work in. Also due to a known absence Dan our actor and screen writer he had to leave half way through so we had less time to remake the film. This week I co-directed with Sam as we both had good ideas to put forward to the group. Even though we wanted to re make the same film as like any remake there were differences as we tried to make the camera angles more consistent of a child height that proved hard. Some scenes I felt were a lot better than the week before especially the kitchen scene fight it was more powerful and dramatic and a lot the sound and lighting were a lot more professional. However we all felt that the chemistry between the actors wasn’t the same and I think this was due to the fact we were trying to remake a film from before. However we remade the film we improvements and built on our ideas from the week before. Although in feedback it didn’t get as much praise as the end scene with the child being the camera didn’t come across as well and the idea was slightly lost this was due to the lighting in the scene was a bit too dark and perhaps Sophie didn’t get enough direction from us on the way to act in this scene towards the child. Altogether though I was pleased we remade the film and had another go on our ideas as I feel gold was our best film. And we got to work on our skills and develop them more through remaking the film.
